Domaine Laurent Martray Brouilly ‘La Folie’ 2019

90 POINTS & 4 STARS: Jasper Morris MW – Inside Burgundy
90+ POINTS: William Kelly – Robert Parker’s – The Wine Advocate

"La Folie is a genuine lieu-dit rather than the name of a cuvée. The soil here is classical pink granite. Half destemmed, and matured in foudres and barrels. Fresh and juicy, already very delicious, with few tannins. Tasted: April 2022."
 - Jasper Morris MW

"With aromas of wild berries, spices, loamy soil and bay leaf, the 2019 Brouilly La Folie is medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated. It is deep and lively, with powdery tannins and a sapid core of fruit. This is a lovely, classically proportioned, traditional-styled Beaujolais that's built to evolve gracefully in the cellar."
 - William Kelly – Robert Parker’s – The Wine Advocate

Located in Odénas, Laurent Martray works with old vines in Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly. Winemaking is traditional, with a proportion of whole bunch, two-week macerations and comparatively long élevage in used barrels and foudres. The results are deep, flavorful, classically structured wines that evolve gracefully in bottle. This is resolutely traditional Beaujolais, harkening back to the wines of yesteryear, before carbonic maceration, the natural wine movement and the craze for Beaujolais nouveau changed how this historic region was perceived.
